Nathdwara, Rajasthan

 Rajastahn Tour Dairies

Day 5 contd..


So doing a repeat post on this Little Krishna's abode which was the main reason why I signed up for the tour.


The most powerful Little Child who makes people fall in love with this eternal bliss of God - Shrinath ji.  How fortunate are the people living in here who can have the different darshans of the Lord at different time of day.  Yes all the Arathis are different with beautiful attire and charming smile and different nivedhayam.

Even to stand in front of him is more than enough for anyone.  


History of Nathdwara Shrinathji says that during the reign of Aurangzeb, statue of Lord Krishna was moved from Vrindavan to enshrine it at a safe place. However, when the vehicle carrying the statue passed through the particular spot where the temple now is, its wheels were stuck in the mud.


The priest accompanying the image interpreted it to be an indication from the Lord himself.


People understood that the Lord did not want to move any further. Thereafter, they placed the statue in the Lord Krishna temple, Nathdwara along with proper Vedic rites and tradition. Further, the Nathdwara Shrinathji Temple has three entrances, one (Surajpole) being exclusively for women.

They say there are 2 peacocks snskes and cows near HIM. but my eyes are always on this Little cheerful face of My Lord.  My prayers to him are to remember to see all these too when I get next darshan hopefully.













here is my earlier visit post which has all the details

This was pending for a long time from me - to write about one of the Best persons in the world - who encourages Woman to Take up the mantle of Owner of their own Enterprise. That why I have named him the Industrial Queens Maker. How many woman entrepreneurs he would have helped in making - must be running in 5 figures already. do you know of anybody other than Dr Natarajan , who has gained a doctorate on his research paper on "Women Entrepreneurship". His work was his life. The post of Jt director, Tamil Nadu Industries Department in`charge of Women Entrepreneurship was the most apt post for him. You go to him with just one dream - Wanting to go out on your Own - He will make it happen - that is the truth about him. He not only used to counsel people about what kind of industry will suit them, but will also advice about the various methods in running it efficiently and also actively help them to get started. He even used to guide them about how to approach the fi
